(It's Hard to Live Up to) The Rock

[Verse 1] He was the captain of the team in forty-two A favorite of the fans and the ladies too I still love the stories about The Rock He fought for his country in Normandy And drove the Germans back to Germany Captain's right-hand-man was a Rock [Verse 2] And to me he looked tall as a tree At times I thought he never noticed me Standing in the shadow of The Rock I tried to make him proud of me But my mistakes was all he'd see It always seemed so hard to please The Rock [Chorus] And he'll never know how hard I try To be the man I thought that I should be in his eyes And I gave my all to be strong and stand tall, to be The Rock Oh Lord, it's hard to live up to The Rock [Verse 3] He came to visit me the other day I couldn't believe how much he'd aged But in my eyes he'll always be The Rock He said, "Son, ain't it funny how the years roll by" As he turned his head, I saw him rub his eyes I never had felt closer to The Rock [Verse 4] He said, "Son, you made my life complete" The only man I tried to be I never thought I'd hear from The Rock And I was almost overcome When he said, "It's an honor to call you son And I'm proud to say you're a chip off the old block" [Chorus] "And you'll never know how hard I try To be the man I thought that I should be in your eyes And I gave my all to be strong and stand tall To be your Rock [Tag] Oh Lord, it's hard to live up to The Rock Oh Lord, it's hard to live up to The Rock
